Y1 - 2018 N1 - T2 - Textbook of Complex General Surgical Oncology AB - Thyroid malignancies are classified on the basis of the origin of cells into medullary thyroid cancer (MTC), which originates from the parafollicular cells, and nonmedullary thyroid cancer (NMTC), which originates from the follicular cells. NMTC mainly includes papillary and follicular thyroid cancer (PTC and FTC).
